Taylor on Under-Card of Crolla v Linares Promotion

On the under-card of the Crolla v Linares show at the Manchester Arena this Saturday, Katie Taylor will once again be making an appearance.

Taylor who has started her professional career with two wins is set to push her claims for a shot at a world title by taking on Milena Koleva.

Koleva, a Bulgarian, has recently challenged for the IBF super-featherweight title, the defeat was the first stoppage in her career although she has lost seven times in an eight fight professional career.

Talking about taking on a fighter of a higher calibre than those she?s previously faced, Taylor has remarked,

‘She has been in with some of the best girls in the world and always pushed them very hard.?

And on her preparations for her next fight after her most recent win, Taylor added,

‘I headed back to the US the day after the last fight and got straight back into training and sparring for this one. I definitely feel like I’ve made some adjustments and improvements again in the last few weeks.’
